How have you found those fuji rear caliper kits? What are the pads like and which did you choose? Are there other options?
Went with road pads ,did not want to overkill bias rear vs front.
There are 3 options road ,road&track and track.
Paid 1049 quid ,well worth a money ,discs are high carbon like PFC track discs etc. My only concern were 6pots instead of 4pots on rear. Not always it will work good with to many pots 6f+6r but found no issues.
I like how they perform.
With oem brembo on rear and AP front when braking force push Your body to the front where rear just keeps car in balance.
With rear fuji kit You feel force pull Your body a little to a rear,down a seat to, feels like full car is pulled low to a ground not like with brembo rears where front is diving trying to throw You out of windscreen when braking.
It's something like 2 wheel drive on road/track vs 4x4, You feel 4 wheels grip,claws to tarmac instead of 2, i mean You feel things changed ,in my opinion in positive way .
Braking is brutal when doing emergency stop. Hopefully will try them on the Ring this year.
